Realistic Mermaid Tail
The mermaids in my imagination are not brightly colored and adorned. They are simple, sleek, and well-blended. I chose colors that would both complement my skin-tone (for a more seamless transition) and mesh well with the New England coast-line .
To elongate the tail, the fluke starts at the end of my feet. This helps give the illusion of fluid movement. The fluke itself is translucent so that light and color can pass through it.
This is considered a hybrid tail because it is made from both fabric and silicone. All of the color was applied to the base (fabric for the body and plastic for the fluke), and clear silicone was used to add texture.

Is it seamless between the tail and your skin, was it made to be at all?
It is not seamless at the waist of the tail but under water it blends pretty well!
